Generating reports on the balance of NOV-2 and NOV-5 activities (NAF)
You can run a utility that reports on the balance of operational activities used in OV-2 operational node connectivity diagrams with operational activities used in OV-5 operational activity models.
Prerequisite
There must be at least one NOV-5 Activity Model and a corresponding NOV-2 Op. Node Conn. diagram in the current encyclopedia. The diagram symbols must be defined and the appropriate information present for comparison.
Note Each set of NOV-5 diagrams should correspond to only one NOV-2 diagram; to accomplish this, you can use the NOV-5 Activity Model to NOV-2 Node Connectivity utility.
From the NOV-2 diagram you select, a collection of operational nodes and the activities contained in those is created and compared with the activities that are in the NOV-5 activity model selected. From the selected NOV-2 and NOV-5 diagrams balancing operations are as follows:
All operational nodes have at least one operational activity
All operational activities live on at least one operational node
All operational activities contained on operational nodes are in the activity model
To generate the balance report
1 Click Tools > NAF Utilities.
2 Select Balance NOV-2 and NOV-5 Activities.
A list of top-level NOV-5 activity diagrams and NOV-2 operational node connectivity diagrams is displayed.
3 Select one NOV-5 diagram and one NOV-2 diagram from each list for balancing.
4 Click Run.
Result
The utility retrieves all child diagrams of the selected NOV-5 diagram for balancing. The report is generated in a Microsoft Word document with a list of operational nodes without operational activities and operational activities without operational activities not in the activity model.
